Skin aging is inevitable. It manifests as thinning and sagging of the skin due to several physiological, genetic and environmental factors.

The cells have a renewal cycle of 28 days but from the age of 40, this cycle lengthens, resulting in sagging skin and the appearance of the first fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen fibers deteriorate, leading to inevitable aging of the skin. However, it is possible to delay the onset of the effects of time and preserve your beauty capital by focusing on the right assets.

As for many women, choosing an anti-aging cream is not easy, as the offer is wide and varied. Among the most effective and highlighted active ingredients are: hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C, retinol, etc. The choice is all the more difficult as the treatments often combine several components to act simultaneously on the different aspects of skin aging. Overview of the main anti-aging active ingredients.

Hyaluronic acid, naturally present in the body, is the secret to well hydrated skin. With age, the quantity and quality of hyaluronic acid decrease, the epidermis dries up and the first wrinkles appear. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain a good level of hydration and therefore good elasticity of the skin, but it must be chosen according to your needs. Depending on whether he is more or less concentrated in the care, he will have different actions. Thus, at high molecular weight, it remains on the surface of the skin to preserve water and limit dehydration. At medium and low molecular weight, it penetrates deeply to stimulate the synthesis of hyaluronic acid naturally contained in the body. It is at medium and low molecular weight that it makes the skin firmer and more plump by reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin C has a global anti-aging action Incorporated into creams or serums, vitamin C has a preventive action to fight against free radicals due to exposure to the sun, tobacco and pollution, responsible for early wrinkles. It also acts on pigment spots or loss of radiance, by stimulating the production of collagen and by regulating the synthesis of melanin.

Retinol is another anti-aging active. It is a benchmark molecule in the fight against skin aging from 35 years old. It has an exfoliating power on the surface which smooths the skin texture, reduces wrinkles and spots and brings radiance. In depth, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin for firmer skin. To be effective, the retinol concentration should be at least 0,3%. This type of treatment is not recommended for sensitive and dry skin. This type of treatment is used in the evening because it is photosensitizing.

Removing make-up and cleansing the skin every night before bed is essential for keeping beautiful skin longer. Without this routine, the treatments used will not be of any effectiveness because it frees the epidermis of its impurities.
